20 year contract

Orgaworld saw the monkeys and said "We can make a mint off this lot". And you know what? We're the ones in the end that get had. It's not enough that City Council gave them a 20 year contract. Who does that? Especially when we take them to curt in the first 2 weeks. But we still don't know the full extent of this debacle.
I am totally for supporting a Green Bin program. Just not this Green Bin program. Why? Because it's going to cost us way too much for twenty years. Orgaworld wants to recycle diapers. Great. But if farmers don't buy their recycled infant doo doo dirt what then. Funny how city hall doesn't want to answer that one. Wanna bet theres a clause that puts you and I on the hook for the sale amount. I wouldn't bet against it.
And what about the fact that even if you fill the thing with regular household organic waste. And i do mean fill it. We have. That the amount the city has guaranteed to Orgaworld for processing cannot be achieved with even 100% city wide compliance, with the size and weight limit of these bins. Did no one pull out the calculator and check the numbers. NO of course not. Wasn't in someones job description. An oversight. I won't even get into the fact that we don't have a decent bag available to all to line the thing with.
We'll keep putting it out, but it really is pretty unsavory. And it's not even summer yet.
